Hi Ian. It has been a while. I hope you and your family are doing well.

I spotted a link to one of your previous blog posts in a graphic on Information Is Beautiful. They have a post showing how they made their recent exoplanet graphic: http://www.informationisbeautiful.net/book/process/executing-the-exos/

Hi Stuart! Yeah, it's been a while. Family are fine (although eldest one is turning into an uncommunicative teenager), and Archie the Gallah is chewing everying in sight. Hows things with you? You seem to be hooping all around the place.

Late last year I took up a new job working for a global network of telescopes. It isn't a research job but I'm feeling much more useful. Plus, I'm getting to make some of the things I've previously had to do in my spare time.

Out of interest, with Blogger, are you able to include iframes or Javascript when writing a post? I'm trying to make my Virtual Sky embeddable http://lcogt.net/en/user/slowe/dev/virtualsky/embed/custom.html
